Summary

These Final Hours is a 2013 Australian apocalypse thriller film directed by Zak Hilditch. The film takes place in Perth, and begins 10 minutes after a meteor has collided with earth in the North Atlantic, leaving approximately twelve hours until the subsequent global firestorm reaches Western Australia. James and his lover, Zoe, are having sex for the last time at her beach house, where she reveals that she's pregnant with James' child. Not wanting to feel his inevitable death, James disregards Zoe's news and leaves for 'the party to end all parties'. After having his car stolen, he comes across two men who have kidnapped a young girl and are planning to rape her. James kills them, and rescues the girl. The girl, named Rose, explains that she was separated from her dad in Malaga en-route to her aunt's house in Roleystone. Not wanting to waste petrol, James instead plans to leave her with his sister and her children.
